hi
thanks for using healthcare magic
Lamical in depression acts like a mood stabilizer, but it does not have good effect on anxiety symptoms. Paxil 10 mg would help her to control both depression as well as anxiety symptoms, but initially it could cause a little bit nausea which would improve with time. Rest u can consult to treating psychiatrist.
